www.nationalpaintball.com/pdfs/pressreleases/eVolt.pdfThis is not a paintball gun. If the sport turns into this, i am out. its just my opinion, but this is not good for the sport. I for one am whole heartedly against this new 'design', and will not play with, or around it. If you are with me, feel free to post your suport, if not, post your opinion.

i agree. They think they are revolutionizing the game by making this, but they are in fact ruining it. Paintball needs to stay the way it is right now.

you only get 500 shots from one charge of the battery then you gotta recharge it for 90 min., doesnt seem worth it to me

well even if it did change the game if you arnt apt to change than you are going to be left behind. every game evolves over time and paintball is no different.

i realize the game will evolve, and so far i have liked where it has been going (higher bps, 'better' acuracy, better velocity with less air wasted), but this new 'gun' is a step backwards, the sport will 'devolve'

lol u guys are being retarded
now obviously paintball is still a long way from effectively doing this but explain to me how a gun that dosnt need a gas system is a down step? from what i see it saves alot of hastle.
im not sure why everyone thinks this is bad, once the idea is mastered it could help us all out alot.

no things could definately get better...like guns working more often. guns are nice now but they definately could use improvment.
and it may be a dumb idea all im saying is that people need to throw around ideas like that for other people to improve on or get ideas off of. the same thing prolly happened with electro guns... people were prolly though it was a waste to put a battery in a gun but look at it now.
new technology is only helping the sport grow and get better... nothing is going to be used that dosnt make the sport better. why would we use it? so pretty much any idea except for things that help cheating are either helping or doing nothing to the sport.
